Who: Mordin Solus
Broadcast: Fleet-wide!
Action: Marsiva!
When: Right meow

[Hello, Flooters. There's someone very decidedly alien blinking into the feed, mumbling to himself.]

Curious, recording? Ah, hello. Mordin Solus. New arrival.

[Those words were deliberate, these next ones are a bit more rapid-fire. He seems a little...distracted, kind of manic.]

Curious about implants. Is there a clinic? Doctor, professor, comfortable behind lab bench. Would also like samples from other captives. Where are you from? What races are present? So much data, too many variables to account for via video transmission. Need to study, research. Too many variables, need hard data.

[ He scratches at his head, leaf-rustling noises from about his fingers. ]

I... don't really get it. I shed my clothes all the time, but not much else? Is that good? [ At 'clothes', he tugs at the thin leaf - almost like a long blade of grass - that wraps loosely about his neck. ]

Clothes, plant covering. Leaves? Outer layer. Hmm. Would like deep tissue samples. Problem for another time.

[He thinks for a moment.]

Dependent on sunlight? Eat? Ah, carnivorous plant?

[ Asteffiel seems to be sinking out of the frame of the video when 'deep tissue' is mentioned. That does not sound good.

... But he inches back up with the questions about how he eats. ]

I need light, but I also need to eat. And yes! But I also like fruits and vegetables. I usually tell people I eat like humans eat. Because I am pretty sure that most things that kill plants, also aren't good for humans to eat... [ ... he might have to think on that longer. Hmn. ]

Hmm, curious. Knowledge of digestive system? Native acids to dissolve food into simple nutrients?

[ He is silent, stroking the leaf that sticks up a couple times. ]

I know there's something that makes eating work, and it still isn't good for sylvari to get a sharp thing in the abdomen, but I also know it isn't the same things that make humans eating work. [ Obviously, because he isn't made of flesh.

More scratching of his head. ]

... It also doesn't work the same way as fly traps. We don't have to get rid of anything like that?
